This Library Bar In Hawaii Is Every Book Nerd’s Paradise
The Hawaiian Islands are home to countless incredible restaurants and bars, especially in the state’s major tourist destinations. And while there are more drinking destinations than we could possibly name in Waikiki alone, some are undoubtedly more remarkable than others. In a sea of oceanfront tiki bars overflowing with old Hawaiian charm, there is a bright, modern destination book lovers are sure to love.
Tucked away behind a wall of books in the lobby of the ultra-hip Modern Honolulu Hotel is The Study, a unique literary-themed bar that’s unlike any you’ve ever seen.
Featuring elegant cocktail tables, endless sectionals, lush ottomans, and melt-into-me chairs, there’s no better place to sit back and relax with a signature cocktail.
Enough about the ambiance — let’s get to the drinks! A slew of signature cocktails feature unique literary names we can’t get enough of. Will you order a Huckle Berry Finn or a West Thai Story?
You’ll also find an extensive list of beer, wine, and liquor, including more than 50 varieties of whiskey from the United States, Canada, Ireland, and even Japan.
Hungry? From ahi dip, poke, and bruschetta to hummus, kalbi short ribs, and mini wagyu burgers, the food menu is quite robust. If you’re looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, enjoy your drink with a slice of mojito cheesecake or grilled pineapple tart.
The Study is located within The Modern Honolulu at 1775 Ala Moana Blvd., Honolulu, HI 96815, and is open Monday through Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. and Thursday through Sunday from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. For more information, visit their website or follow them on Facebook.
